I am trying to fit the intake tubes.
What do people use to attach these? Going to be hard to try and fibreglass them in.
And the end of the tube....does it matter if it touches the chassis?

I created a mounting point right on the chassis where the back end of the intake touches the frame. I pulled the intake in tight, marked and drilled a hole, and then bolted it to the mounting point.
The mounting point prevents it from pulling back out.

brcewane (7/5/2015) I created a mounting point right on the chassis where the back end of the intake touches the frame. I pulled the intake in tight, marked and drilled a hole, and then bolted it to the mounting point.
The mounting point prevents it from pulling back out.
Good thinking.
So is that all you did ? No trying to fibreglass them in or add bolts somewhere?

They fit really tight with no wiggle. I'll just be fiberglassing a nice lip around the opening.
